Sophomore Taylor McGiffen put CU ahead early with a 11-2 major decision over Kacee Hutchinson, giving the Camels the four-point advantage. Redshirt Eloheim Palma earned his 18th win of the season at the heavyweight spot with a 7-4 decision over Denzel Dejournette, putting CU up 7-0 after two matches.
The Camels posted a forfeit at 125 pounds and freshman Drew Walker fell to William Johnson 5-2, as the Mountaineers took the 9-7 edge.
Sophomore Michael Dahlstrom regained the Camel lead with a commanding 16-5 major decision over Jake Smith at 141 pounds. The win was Dahlstrom’s team-leading fourth major decision of the season and gave CU the 11-9 advantage, and the Camels held the lead for the remainder of the match.
Brent Jorge pushed the Camels to a 17-9 lead, after pinning Javon Johnson in 4:48. The pin was Jorge’s fourth of the year at 149 pounds and gave the redshirt senior his 18th victory this season.
Appalachian State threatened a comeback with two straight decisions to close the score at 17-15. Nick Hall earned the 3-1 win over sophomore Grant Blumenthal at 157 pounds, and Zachary Strickland took the 7-3 victory over junior Paul Duggan at 165.
Campbell finished the dual strong, taking the final two matches and securing the 26-15 win.
Sophomore Cody Ryba picked up his first fall of the season at 174 pounds, pinning Collin Hedash in 2:37. Freshman Ville Heino secured the Camel win with an 8-3 decision over Dominick Vetell at the 184-pound spot.
The win breaks a 13-year Mountaineer winning streak. Last year the Camels threatened to end the drought, but fell 16-15 in Boone.
